They definitely can, though you don’t see it as much as you do part A only.

Is this bc they haven’t paid in enough to qualify for Part A?I guess I am wondering why someone would elect the free part of Medicare?

Hi, If the patient doesn't have enough working quarters to qualify for Part A to be free then they might only have Part B. They could always pay for Part A but the monthly premium is very costly. If a patient has between 30-39 working quarters then the 2012 Part A premium is $248.If a patient has less than 30 working quarters then the 2012 Part A premium is $451. ~Angie Angie SantiagoFinancial Coordinator Organ Disease and TransplantationAEMC5401 Old York RdKlein Professional Building, Suite 500Philadelphia, PA 19141- Phone- Fax>>> ", " Wednesday, March 28, 2012 12:11 PM >>> I mean would not J , MSW LCSW Clinical Financial SpecialistDivision of Bone Marrow TransplantationBJH / Washington University School of Medicine< o>660 South Euclid, Campus Box 8007St. Louis, MO 63110Phone: / Fascimile: Email: cjames@...
